Has anyone had issues with Vinted??

I sold an item posted it the same day and the buyer has definitely received it. It says delivered on Royal Mail Tracking.

I’ve sent the buyer 2 messages only for her to completely ignore them and still not confirm all is ok.

It’s annoying because my only option is Royal Mail so therefore money won’t be released until either she confirms item or I have to wait 1month until Vinted do it and apparently even after a month the buyer has two days to raise an issue

Also to add I don’t do Vinted for fun it’s literally because times are hard being on maternity leave

I thought if they didn't reply in two days, it does it automatically?

Mine has been released within a couple of days if they haven't released it never had to wait a month.

Mines says June 18th it will be marked as delivered. I don’t know if it’s because I use Royal Mail. Xx

I've had issues before like this with Royal Mail, and then another with EVRI damaging the parcel in transit and then it taking over a month to refund the buyer and compensate me (because they allow such a long time for it to be delivered / collected with EVRI). So for me I switched to only deliver using InPost home or lockers - no problems since! People only have 3 days to collect parcel (nobody has not collected so far) and then Vinted always transfer the money to my balance 2 days after they've collected.

I think a lot of people on Vinted are buyers only and don't realise that if they don't click the 'Everything is OK' button then the money isn't released (sometimes for an incredibly long time!).

None of this solves your problem I'm afraid, but changing your postage options might save you some headaches in future - it's made it all a worry-free breeze for me since I changed it 🥰

I've sold the odd thing and have used evri and inpost. But I mostly use it for buying really.
Just keep all your proof of postage just in case.

All postage options, except royal mail are intergrated with the app, so it knows when your parcel arrives. If buyers don't confirm within 3 days or something, it automatically releases the fund to seller. For royalmail, it isnt intergrated, so no tracking code (unless seller chooses the tracked option). Therefore, unless the buyer clicks on everything is ok, you will have to wait for a month to get your money. I would say turn royalmail off and choose other options.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.
